EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ethiopia's rich religious heritage. In Lalibela, a devout pilgrim stands in awe before the magnificent church of Bet Giyorgis (St. George's). Carved into solid rock and towering 40 feet high, this monolithic masterpiece is an architectural marvel that showcases the country's deep-rooted Christian faith. The church's roof, shaped like a Greek cross, adds to its grandeur and symbolism. It serves as a beacon of hope for believers who come from far and wide to pay their respects at this sacred site. The intricate carvings on its walls reflect the dedication and craftsmanship of Ethiopian artisans throughout history. Lalibela itself is renowned for its collection of rock-hewn churches, making it a significant pilgrimage destination for Christians in Africa and beyond. These religious buildings are not only remarkable feats of engineering but also hold immense spiritual significance. Jane Sweeney skillfully captures the profound sense of devotion felt by this pilgrim as they stand before Bet Giyorgis. Through her lens, we witness the fusion of religion and artistry that defines Ethiopia's cultural identity. This stunning photograph transports us to another world—a world where ancient traditions intertwine with breathtaking architecture—reminding us of the enduring power that faith holds in shaping communities across sub-Saharan Africa.
